theguest7 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I spent 4 years living in livo, but now I'm in the hood in Minno. I feel half loved.
102megan Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 inb4 complaints from c'town and the riff, that they get no love. Understandably so, mind you! I'd be pissed, if it were me & my 'hood.
Convertedfan Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Not getting much love on facebook personally I think it's good to mix it up a bit Edited April 15, 2015 by Convertedfan
102megan Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Well Penrith AND Campbelltown have had numerous Wanderers matches played at their Stadiums... I do find it interesting that they were snubbed. (To be honest, if I had to pick between my team playing in my home town - or my home town being mentioned in a song - I'd pick the home town match for sure!!)
wilsonpastore Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) honestly the first time i listened to it i couldnt imagine it as a walk out song, but each time i listen to it, it grows on me. i will need to hear it in real life on matchday to properly make an opinion. Edited April 15, 2015 by wilsonpastore
Cynth Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Why can't it say " from penrith to the hills" rather than " parra to the hills"? I think a large bulk of the membership come from Penrith.
hawks2767 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Why should it mention the Hills at all ? The Hills District is not Western Sydney, I'll sing this chant until I have no voice for the next 3 days but I'm not singing that line sorry.
Hughesy Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Lol at the whingers. You all sound like fapman with his geography lessons. Cry me a river.
antoniocortell Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Why can't it say " from penrith to the hills" rather than " parra to the hills"? I think a large bulk of the membership come from Penrith. Why is it bad it says parra? It's where we play ffs Edited April 15, 2015 by antoniocortell

It's where we play ffs Please specify exactly where Cynth's post, that it says it's "bad it says parra"??? Nice work drawing to that conclusion.

hawks2767 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Pull your head in, I have my opinion and it's based on 30 years of living in Western Sydney.
Guest mickisnot Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Why should it mention the Hills at all ? The Hills District is not Western Sydney, I'll sing this chant until I have no voice for the next 3 days but I'm not singing that line sorry. The one geographical location in Sydney that has very much has avoided naming itself west. During the shootings they continued to reinforce the naming as the hills. Only now it's become cool and savvy to be from Western Sydney and this pretentious lot has jumped on the west tag quicker than anything. I've never heard people from North Western Sydney say anything other than "I'm from the hills" until the Wanderers came along.
Carns Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 The Hills District starts about 5km from Parra stadium but isn't in the west? Good to know.
Hughesy Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I'm embarrassed that I'm now talking about this. I completely disagree about this attitude that the hills is not west and that people have only embraced the west since the Wanderers made it cool. Bullshit. I've lived in the hills all my life and have always called and considered myself a westie and so has everybody else around here. Tell that to the thousands of Wanderers members and fans who live in this area that they aren't from the west... Except maybe for people who live in kellyville, they're a completely different breed of human being. LOL. Why the **** is this even being debated? Just learn the words and sing the ******* chant.
Guest mickisnot Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I call bullshit lol It's being debated because that's the beauty of a forum. I've already learnt the lyrics, some of the boys were singing this at Perth. I loved it then and I love it now.
102megan Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Hills is West. I live closer to the Stadium than (presumably?) the majority of you; 10 minutes away from it, prefer going to Parra Westfield rather than Castle Towers - and *shock horror* I live in the Hills. I'm a westie.
Carns Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 You'll have to provide a few maps for me so I'm aware of where the west begins and ends.
hawks2767 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 That's great, you're in the minority though, I have many many stories I can relate in another thread.

I'm a westie. A-*******-men. I turn out of my street, drive straight for 5 minutes and then turn right and I'm at the stadium. But you know what? WHO CARES! Don't anyone ever have a go at Fapman and his geography arguments ever again cause this thread is the pot calling the kettle black lol
Guest mickisnot Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 The Hills is no doubt geographically west. But it's the richer part of town and as a vicinity the suburbs have never adopted the westie tag until it was in their favour to do so. In fact it went to considerable lengths to denounce the westie tag. Not every suburb in East Sydney is flashy, just like how not every suburb west of Homebush is a shithole.
102megan Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 "Included areas Greater Western Sydney includes fourteen local government areas: Auburn City, Bankstown City, Blacktown City, Blue Mountains City, the Camden Council area, Campbelltown City, Fairfield City, Hawkesbury City, Holroyd City, Liverpool City, the City of Parramatta, Penrith City, The Hills Shire and Wollondilly Shire." http://profile.id.com.au/wsroc/about?WebID=200
Carns Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 So, if you live in the Hills you're obviously a rich snob who only looks down at everyone else, unless there is an opportunity to jump on a bandwagon.I attended the Castle Hill fan forum before WSW began, and the passion shown for the region and a team representing the west was palpable. It was one of the reasons I signed up as soon as I could. The sheer pride that people had in their community and what their team could represent. People were sick of being labelled as ******* westies and wanted an entity they could be proud of.
Hughesy Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I'm not gonna bullshit you mick there are definitely some nice houses and pockets of areas in the hills but they are few and far between. There is also the odd mansion or palace scattered throughout other western suburbs too so it really doesn't mean a thing. I or my family are certainly not rich and don't live in anything close to what you'd consider a mansion and this is the case for 90% of people in the hills. We live within our means, nothing flashy at all. I think there is this perception that the hills is like some mini Beverley Hills because a lot of people haven't actually visited it properly before and just assume.
wanderersfanatic Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 The tune of the chant sounds familiar, anyone know which song it was from?
